 Mike Rundle: Design + Communication
Interface design doesn't just apply to computer interfaces or the handle on a coffee pot (for you Norman fanatics out there) — an interface is the bridge that both an object and the user cross in order to accomplish some goal.
The interface is where the communication between a person and an object takes place, and a "well-designed" interface is one that easily facilitates this exchange.
This is why interface design is so important — because it's not just someone who knows how to prototype in CSS and likes user-centered design, it's someone who understands the goals and needs of all parties involved, and makes hard decisions in order to benefit them both as much as she can.
